Ladybird Emerging gallery 1!



Seven spotted ladybird emerging in a series of images, it took about an hour for this little one to finally break free!
I had been watching this pupae for over 7 days, she finally started to emerge and I was able to capture her changes, quite a special moment.
Best viewed with my slideshow.
